About PhiRemoval

What is PhiRemoval?

PhiRemoval is a non-laser tattoo removal technique. It’s used to remove permanent and semi-permanent tattoos, such as eyebrow make-up, top and bottom eyeliner, eyeliner migration (where tattoed makeup has moved or expanded), lip liner, lip colour and small body tattoos or migration of pigment of body tattoos.

Patented PhiRemoval solution is applied to the treatment area in a similar way as manual PhiShading microblading technique, using different styles of blades to drive the solution into the skin. In this process the PhiRemoval solution is drawn into the top layer of the skin, extracting the pigment with it. You can see a visible difference immediately after treatment. The extraction continues after treatment as a scab with the pigment forms and then starts to peel off naturally as it heals.

Unlike laser removal, PhiRemoval can successfully remove or lighten whole eyeliner, even bottom liner, whole lip colour and also it removes red, white and camouflage tattoos. While lasers use targeted light to break up ink in your skin, PhiRemoval uses very fine blades to propel a removal solution deep into the skin, drawing out any ink with it.

Local anaesthetic cream is applied to the treated area prior to the treatment to numb the skin. Depending on the sensitivity of your skin you may experience a slight stinging, but most say it is painless.

This greatly depends on how much pigment there is and how deeply the pigment sits. As one colour comes out, the underlying pigment may appear, so it’s impossible to predict how many sessions you may need. Sometimes only 1 session is enough, other times, 5 or more are necessary.

PhiRemoval sessions can be performed every 4 – 6 weeks as skin needs to heal completely before and after treatment.

Anaesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area 30 minutes prior to the treatment, which takes approximately 45-60 minutes and is pain free for most people. During the treatment, pigment will start to migrate upwards and will be extracted. After the treatment, the treated area can look darker, due to the pigment being pushed to the upper layers of the skin.

You will need to keep the area completely dry for the next 48 hours. During the first 48 hours, small scabs will start to form, drawing even more pigment out of the skin. Healing could take 7-10 days and during this time, secondary scabs can be formed. This is completely normal and it is a good sign, as it will take more pigment out of the skin.

You will receive 2 aftercare creams – Skin Candy aftercare and Skin Candy scar protection, which are included in the price of the treatment.  Detailed aftercare will be explained to you during your session.

After each treatment, more and more of pigment will be disposed and the tattoo will get lighter and lighter.
